The Puffer Forum

Thumbelina ate from my fingers today! It took them a while to get used to the idea of eating off of a toothpick, but today she ate a bloodworm right out of my fingers! Then I probably made her mad again by doing a water change. Oh, well. It was so cool!

haha awesome

Exellent!

haha congrats. i remember when i got my DPs to eat of my hand for the first time. it was a little pond snail, it was so cute and made me happy for the rest of the day. ahh moments like that last forever.

Congratulations! It's cool to develop that kind of trust relationship with a puffer. My GSP and Ceylon were eating from my fingers almost immediately, which pleased me to no end, but I've had to stop feeding the Ceylon that way because too often he misses the food and gets my finger instead - and it hurts now that he's grown so much larger.

Congrats! My DPs will only eat their food when it falls to the bottom... spoiled brats, lol

Very cool nice one! Only fish i handfeed really is my 2' Perruno cat

Awesome! Wish my F8 was so trusting. He barely comes within 6 inches of the mussels that I have gripped with the 12" tweezers. I have to string them on fishing line and drop them to the bottom or he won't come close enough the eat any. But he's shy.
